Using the Stabilizer Feature
The Stabilizer feature is for Photo taking only. This feature is designed to help reduce the blurring effects on photos
caused by slight camera movement. It is important to note that this feature cannot compensate for all movement
and lighting situations and that in many cases may slow the camera’s ability to auto focus.
How does it work? It works according to the luminance of the target object. This function uses special image data
processing to optimise the high sensitivity of CCD sensor (also known as the digital film). High sensitivity allows the
use of faster shutter speeds compared to the default mode, so it may reduce blurring caused by camera movement.
